Public bug reported:
Apple PowerBook G4 (5,4)
Ubuntu 7.04
This problem occurs intermittently when using either the internal
microphone (located under left speaker grille) or an external pre-
amplified mic insterted into Line-In.
When recording a sound file using sound recorder, (which defaults to
using DRC Range as input) some of the time it works just fine. However,
frequently and intermittently, the sound is *very* distorted sounding
much like very loud white noise. No sound settings are changed between
these recordings. The distortion remains for the duration of the
recording, but if it is stopped and a new one started, the recording
this time may be fine for the duration (or it may be distorted again).
This is particularly frustrating as it is not possible to tell if the
recording will be distorted until it is played back. The distortion is
not apparent through the Monitor channel when this is turned on.
I believe this problem also affects other applications using microphone
input such as Ekiga, making reliable internet conferencing pretty much
impossible.
